| Re: What does everyone use for mosquitoes?
I FOUND IT!!!! Took me long enough but it was right where I thought it was - in the back of the Jeep along with other doggie supplies!
The repellant is called "bug AWAY! lymonesse". Contains Citronella oil, geranium oil, rosemary oil and peppermint oil as active ingredients. My bad - no SPF qualities!
Says you should re-apply every 2-3 hours and safely repels all mosquitoes including 'Culex Pipiens' and Aedes Aegypti' as well as these guys: gnats, black flies, fleas, wasps, ticks and many others. 100% DEET free.
I went for a walk tonight (about 7:30pm in the East isn't really a good walking time unless you want to swat at bugs) and applied this to both myself and Ben before we started out. I didn't have any problems with bugs and didn't see anything trying to land on Ben while we walked either (or while we rested).
Like I said, it's available at Christmas Tree Shops for $1.99, but I've also seen it at a few grocery stores and pharmacies for about $3 for a 4 ounce bottle. |
